Equipment

  • Digital Food Scale
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Waffle Iron

Ingredients
 
 

Waffles

  • 284 grams all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cane sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 226 grams salted butter (melted)
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 113 grams sourdough discard
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • salted butter
  • maple syrup
  • strawberries (or other fresh fruit)

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add the flour, cane sugar, baking powder, sea salt, and cinnamon and whisk together.
  • Add the milk and sourdough discard into a small bowl and mix together. Add in the melted butter, milk mixture, and vanilla extract. Whisk together to combine until you have a smooth batter and no lumps.
  • Allow waffle iron to get warm, I cooked these on setting 4 on my waffle maker. But, medium on any iron will do! Measure ½ cup of batter into the waffle iron as I only let these fill the middle portion of my iron (if you have a smaller iron, may have to do less). Cook until golden brown, about 2 to 4 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.
  • Serve with butter, maple syrup, or whipped cream and fresh fruit.
  • Store extra waffles in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Tips
  • You can melt the butter over the stovetop or in the microwave, however you prefer.
  • You can use your sourdough discard directly from the fridge.
  • I like to mix in the sourdough discard with the milk first as this helps to combine it completely in the batter.
  • If you want a heartier waffle, you can use whole wheat flour in place of all purpose flour.
  • I use a half cup for measuring the batter into the middle of the waffle iron. If you want larger waffles, you can use more and fill the whole iron.
  • Store extra waffles in the fridge or in the freezer. You can re-heat in your toaster oven, air fryer, or toaster.
  • Vegan: Use vegan butter (I recommend Miyoko's) and dairy free milk (I like coconut, but others work too!).
  • High Altitude — Follow the recipe as noted.
